Intended Use
CADENS™ Colon is a self-contained image analysis software package for evaluating CT volume datasets. Combining enhanced commercially available digital image processing tools with optimized workflow and reporting tools, the software is designed to support the physician in studying the inside (intra-luminal view), the wall and the outside (extra-luminal view) of the colon. It provides functionality for display, measurement and electronic cleansing to assure complete visualization of the colon from rectum to cecum and vice versa for both prone and supine views. With the functionality to view datasets from both the prone and supine positions, it facilitates the detection of colonic lesions (eg. Polyps) in addition to the evaluation, documentation and follow-up of any such lesions using standard spiral CT scanning. This evaluation tool allows for volumetric analysis of colonic polyps or lesion size over time, helping the Physician to assess the changes in their growth. It is also designed to help the physician classify conspicuous regions of tissue, with respect to their size, dimensions, shape and position. It is to be used only by trained and instructed health care professionals.
Device Description
Similar to the Siemens Syngo Colonography software package, VIATRONIX V3D Colon and VITAL Images CT Colonography, the CADENS™ Colon is indicated for use and designed for the support of authorized physicians in reviewing relevant CT scanner images of Colorectal Cancer patients. The CADENS™ Colon is similar in intended use to the above Siemens and VITAL Images solutions combined with the electronic cleansing intended use of the Viatronix medical device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes image analysis software using digital image processing tools and optimized workflow, but does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning or neural networks. The focus is on visualization, measurement, and electronic cleansing, which are standard image processing techniques.

No.
The device is an image analysis software package designed to support physicians in evaluating CT volume datasets of the colon, not to provide therapy.

Yes

The device is image analysis software designed to support physicians in studying CT volume datasets of the colon. Its features, such as facilitating the detection of colonic lesions, assessing changes in growth, and classifying conspicuous regions of tissue based on size, dimensions, shape, and position, indicate its role in assisting in the diagnosis of medical conditions.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "self-contained image analysis software package" and its functionality is described solely in terms of software operations on CT datasets. There is no mention of accompanying hardware components or hardware-specific functions.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device function: The CADENS™ Colon software analyzes CT volume datasets, which are images generated by a CT scanner. It processes and displays these images to assist physicians in evaluating the colon. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "evaluating CT volume datasets" and "supporting the physician in studying... the colon." This is image analysis and visualization, not in vitro testing.

Therefore, the CADENS™ Colon is a medical device for image analysis and visualization, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

Dear Mr. Montini:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of

medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820). This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809), please contact the Office of In Vitro Diagnostic Device Evaluation and Safety at (301) 796-5450. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
